The (old) Reformed Church of Beekbergen is one of the oldest Reformed Churches in the Netherlands. In 1835, the year after the secession, a meeting was held in Apeldoorn, attended by various representatives from Lieren and Oosterhuizen. The pastor was Rev. Brummelman from Hattem, who strongly stimulated the secession in the East Veluwe. The secession was preceded by house meetings. These were meetings of members of the State Church, the Dutch Reformed Church, who were concerned about the freedom of doctrine. In 1840, the seceded church of Apeldoorn, or rather the church of Apeldoorn-Noord, received a minister: Rev. Poppe de Wit. He also served as minister for Beekbergen and Teuge. In 1849 it was decided to build a church building on the Tullekensmolenweg, at no. 106. This was put into use on 21 April 1850. There were 150 seats in this building. The church budget in 1851 was f 356.21. The minister's salary in 1854 was f 225.--. On 31 July 1853 the congregation of Beekbergen received its first minister, namely candidate M. Sipkes.
